I'm not seeing this in Spooner (Arizona Tokens) but he may use this photo for a second edition of his invaluable AZ Token Catalog. Nothing much remains of Camp Harry Jones, which was established to protect Douglas and this sector of the border from trouble caused by the Mexican Revolution and WWI German infiltration. While the Camp is not mentioned on the token, we know it to be Camp Harry Jones (renamed so after a soldier by that name was killed by a stray bullet from the Mexican side during the revolutionary disturbances), because Co. 'D' 22 Infantry was stationed there at the time. The 2 & 1/2 (cent) Check for Billiard Hall equipment was made available by the usual Brunswick Balke Collendar Company. Spooner has the dates of 1910 - 1931 for the camp with the naming date of 1916.
